FURTHER AFIELD

Nolwenn Le Doth delivers a striking solo text that confronts the painful subject of incest with rigour and humanity. On stage she navigates denial, shame and anger through a fragmented, puzzle-like dramaturgy that mixes courtroom exchanges, 1980s television sequences, childlike imagination and traumatic memories. The Arthurian combat metaphor threads the piece toward emancipation. Choreography by Thomas Guerry frames movement; Nicolas Maisse (sound), Juliette Besançon (lighting), Coline Galeazzi (costumes) and Claire Gringore (scenography) shape the production, accompanied by a women’s choir led by Tao Mousso.

Les 10 petites anarchistes

Performances

Théâtre du Loup

Directed by Fanny Brunet and Carole Schafroth, this theatrical adaptation of Daniel de Roulet’s novel follows ten young women who emigrate to Patagonia to found an egalitarian anarchist community.

Ce qui nous traverse

Performances

Château Rouge – Annemasse

FURTHER AFIELD

Ce qui nous traverse, choreographed by Nawal Aït Benalla and co-directed with Abou Lagraa, is a visceral dance piece by Compagnie La Baraka that probes the body in an age of technology. Dancers Elie Fico, Alba Fracchia, Marion Frappat, Alfredo Gottardi and Rachele Pinzan navigate rhythmic patterns, tensions between constraint and freedom, isolation and encounter, and the shifting boundaries of embodiment. Olivier Innocenti’s compositions and Laïs Foulc’s lighting frame a powerful, poetic investigation of collective and intimate corporeality.

Toutes les femmes sont des aliens

Performances

Théâtre du Grütli

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

La Demande en mariage et l’ours

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.
